According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the circuit board inside the vacuum’s battery pack can overheat and smoke, posing a fire hazard.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vacuums and contact BISSELL for a free battery pack replacement.

No incidents or injuries have been reported.
